With a title like ‘Period Ahh Period Uhh,’ people are wondering what this TikTok trend is all about. Now dominating the For You Page, the meme is a viral sensation no one saw coming. Despite its baffling lyrics, people are hooked, and it's even spreading to other platforms like Instagram.
TikTok produces some of the most bizarre memes. Last month, CornTok took over the FYP. Now that the dust has finally settled, there is an opportunity for new trends to surface. Some are complicated, such as the 'If I Was A' trend which requires a third-party app. However, the best memes are simple, straightforward, and often oddly funny, like Britt Barbie's Period Ahh Period Uhh trend.
The TikTok meme originated from a ludicrous rap that kickstarted this trend. Content creator Britt Barbie posted a video rapping the ‘Period Ahh, Period Uhh' phrase repeatedly. For added value, Barbie sticks her tongue out ridiculously with each utterance. Somehow Barbie manages to extend the video to nearly two minutes, adding a bridge to the song and leaving a small amount of room for others to insert their rap lyrics. People found the video hilarious and were quick to turn the video into a meme.
Make Your Own 'Period Ahh Period Uhh' TikTok
There are two memes associated with the Period Ahh Period Uhh trend on TikTok. Duets are the most popular choice. Creators record themselves pretending they are going to rap alongside Britt Barbie, only for them to be astonished by her performance. The users dueting the videos start by seemingly trying to rap their verse first, as Barbie delays the opening part of her lines. Then as she raps the absurd lyrics, the user's face goes from confused to bewildered. Honestly, it probably isn’t that hard to act, given the nonsensical lyrics.
The second meme related to the Britt Barbie Period Ahh Period Uhh trend utilizes the video’s sound. It’s simple enough. Using the sound provided by Barbie, content creators lip-sync the lyrics. For added entertainment, the creators dress up in eccentric attire. Some users wore eye-catching wigs and large eyelash extensions. Another user decided to wear a revealing bodysuit and bug-eyed sunglasses during the collaboration. The more outlandish, the more likes and comments the video gets.
Barbie did not stall on the success of the video. After the original TikTok reached quick success with millions of views in just three days, she took to YouTube and uploaded the video to further capitalize on its momentum. Two days later, another YouTube single was uploaded as a collaboration with JackBoiBay. Now taking it to an entirely new level, a collaborative song was uploaded on Spotify with Flash Riviero. The original TikTok currently sits at over 35 million views, less than two weeks since its upload.
